IMPROVEMENT lN PENS.

' The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, GEORGE WAsmGTON'WOoLLEY, of \Vashing-' ton, District of Columbia, have invented a new and improved Fountain-Pen, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Object of the I n-rcntion.

The object of my invention is to supplya pen, with.

a fountain attached to the concave surface of the pen, which-fills instantly by dipping, sheds ink-freely and regularly by pressure, is not liable to blot, can easily be kept 'cle'an and holds ink enough to write a page General Description.

The pen represented in the drawing, fig. 3, I make with four clasps', a a a a, at the sides, being bent to correspond with the slight convexity of the surface of the fountain. Flanges may be used instead of the four clasps.

To make afountain above described, I use sheetbrasjs, as thin as can beworked, with sufficient elasticity, shaping a piece as represented in the drawing, fig. 1, which is one-eighth inch shorter than the pen.

'There is an indentation, forming a'kind of groove, just forward of the shoulder, and'fronl this it is tapered to the point, which is the one-fourth of an inch. It is regularly depressed, forming an inclined plane, its

point approaching within one-thirty-second inch of the pen and to one-eighth of an inch of ,t-he pens point.

' The surface at the notch-o should be fiat, measur ing one-eighth of an inch across, and the lengtltof the notches is one eighth inch between 1* and s. To form a good and durable spring it must not be bent acutely, but rounding, as at v, fig. 2. The length of the part 3 which forms the springi's one-half an inch, and in width one-sixth of an inch.

The surface of .thisis flat, whereas the part 4', between the shoulders'u and the notch 22, is a little con vex transversely.

' Claim.

I claim In combination with a pen provided with suitable fiistenings, the fountain attachment shown in figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

GEORGE WASHINGTON WOOLLEY.
